Reviews

Stereoplay 5/2010: "In this respect, Sir Charles is the ideal Mozart conductor, who once again manages to find the balance with incredible aplomb between proximity and distance, between drama and tenderness, between the urgent pulse of life and beautiful architecture." Stereo 05/08: "The result is a brilliant interpretation that does the works full justice and whose energy is almost frightening. Not Mozart for a cosy evening after work, but rather one that makes the listener get out of his chair time and again." "This edition is a 'must' for all Mozart fans." (stereoplay, February 2021)
